ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Jersey City, NJ

Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I believe every person deserves a space where they feel safe, respected, and genuinely heard. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where we can work together to better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and help you achieve meaningful, lasting change.

I am a bilingual Spanish speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) and Master of Arts (M.A.) in Clinical Forensic Psychology, with over 8 years of experience providing psychotherapy across outpatient, inpatient, crisis intervention, community mental health, and care coordination settings. Throughout my career, I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, grief, behavioral challenges, and complex mental health needs. My background also includes working with individuals experiencing crises, coordinating care across multidisciplinary teams, and advocating for clients to ensure they receive comprehensive, compassionate support.

As the founder of Bliss Community and Counseling Services LLC, I also provide forensic social work services, including forensic consultations, immigration-related psychosocial evaluations, and expert witness support when appropriate. My diverse professional background allows me to understand the many personal, family, medical, and legal factors that can affect mental health and healing.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, navigating a major life change, struggling with past trauma, or simply looking for a supportive place to grow, I am committed to meeting you with empathy, professionalism, and cultural sensitivity. I strive to empower every client with the tools, confidence, and support needed to move forward and create a life that feels balanced, meaningful, and fulfilling.

I'm a Georgia Peach with a New Jersey Swag. I am from Newark, New Jersey but I lived in Georgia for about 15yrs. I have that southern touch along with that New Jersey toughness. I love helping people obtain their goals in life. I have been in the field of counseling for over20yrs. I know counseling works because I've personally tried it. Counseling is my 2nd career in life and my combination of education and life experiences tends to be a great match for helping others.

I am compassionate, structured, and solution-focused. I believe therapy should feel supportive but also productive. I specialize in ADHD and anxiety, and I’m committed to helping you build skills that create real, sustainable change — not just temporary relief.

I genuinely enjoy my work as a psychologist, and feel honored and privileged to be able to help people on their journey toward health, happiness and well-being. I strive to being a good listener, compassionate, respectful and nonjudgmental. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, with 23 years experience in private practice during which I saw a great diversity of clientele, each owning a variety of mental health issues. I have specialties in substance use issues, mood and anxiety disorders, sport psychology, as well as grief and life transitions. I work with teens and adults of all ages, and I have a special place in my heart for folks who have served our country in the military and for senior citizens.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in evidence-based therapies and approaches tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals, couples, and families. My work focuses on areas like ADHD, DBT, and CBT. My goal is to create a safe, inclusive space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to create meaningful changes in their lives.
